Pre-holiday cheer and booze filled the air at Akbar for the 3rd annual installment of Chris Bowen’s PIE. With special guests from HNY SNDSYSTM Pee Play + Josh Cheon, the house shook until we were forced to go back to our families.
The queens served up some actual deserts, and all was well with the world for one more night.

It was Stephan Horbelt’s birthday so, he got a deserved spanking from Principal Bob along with sidekick Blake Jacobs. Chris Bowen hid behind his mask. Drag queens, fishnets, beards, flannel, and the one night a month you’ll find people dancing at the Eagle.

Who says summer ends after Labor Day? Tank-topped studs congregated at the MJ’s parking lot for Sunday Funday at Cody Bayne’s party THE LOT. A whorde of DJ’s including Phyliss Navidad and Josh Peace took turns keeping the crowd going all day long. We were treated to a special performance by HIGH FASHION and their troupe of renaissance collared dancers. The Trader Joe’s shoppers next door didn’t know what they were missing.

A tranny invasion with the queen of fucked-up shit, Christeene appearing as a special guest? All in a night’s work for Cody Bayne and Heklina! By night’s work I mean weeks of planning, promoting, and drag queen wrangling all along the golden coast; truly bringing meaning multiple meanings to Labor Day.
The girls went wild, and the boys got drunk – quite the fucked-up wknd at the Echoplex. Thnx for the memories, or lack thereof in some cases.

From door to dance floor, lined with a slew of topless wildlife uncontrollably rump-shaking to the disco and house tunes spewing from Chris Bowen, DJ Nark, Victor Rodriguez, and Jeremy. I drank plenty of whiskey with Phyliss Navidad and bent over backwards to photograph Lady Bear, but I didn’t see any birthday spankings for the man of the hour Mr. Rodriguez. Give ‘em a slap next time he’s out okay? – Kevin

Bears, cubs, and otters, oh my! Two years and going strong! Sunday proved that summer is in full force with the anniversary afternoon lot party and beer bust of “Bears In Space” at Akbar. Guest DJ’s Bus Station John, Mike Trombley, and Scott Zacharias kept the afternoon blazin, with resident DJ’s Nitedog and Chris Bowen taking things into the night. No anniversary is complete without performances by Jackie Hell, Phyliss Navidad, Rahab, Honey Bee, and of course, Miss Barbie-Q. This is hands down the best way to spend a Sunday summer afternoon.

Though the concept of a parking lot party isn’t exactly new, Cody Bayne managed to re-imagine it in a fresh manner. Taking over MJ’s last Sunday, in a space specific typically designated for stripper changes and sordid activity, the space was re-imagined as a playground suitable for a variety of sub-specie of hipster. The perfect place for the polysexual enthusiast to enjoy the latter half of their Father’s Day; with a variety of DJs and fellow hosts with whom I’ve been in many a compromising position with there was destined to be shenanigans in the air, and trust there was.
Word is this isn’t The Lot’s last stand.

This party at Grand Star Jazz Club had so much awesome stuff to offer! Not only was Juanita More hitting the decks hard, it was also the release of a favorite gay quarterly ‘zine JIMMY! Editor and Chief Jimmy Vogel played the part of the proud, but humble papa. Phylis Navidad was the beautiful hostess of the night. Another fabulous face soaking up the maternity was the ever-glamorous Gregory Alexander. My personal favorite was the serve, serve, serving being
done by DJ Trident! All in all it was one sexy Mother!
